EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Mike Blake, we witness an extraordinary sight - an African Crowned Crane found wandering the streets of Encinitas, California. This majestic bird, typically native to the vast savannas of Africa, appears safe and sound at the County Department of Animal Services on January 9,2012. The story behind this remarkable encounter unfolds as a woman recounts her unexpected encounter with the crane. Honking persistently at her on her home driveway, she managed to coax it into the safety of her garage. The image beautifully captures the contrast between urban surroundings and nature's rare visitor. The vibrant colors adorning its plumage are truly mesmerizing; shades of gold and gray blend harmoniously against a backdrop that seems both foreign yet strangely familiar. Its elegant crown stands tall atop its head like a regal emblem symbolizing resilience in unfamiliar territories. This photograph serves as a reminder that nature often finds ways to surprise us when we least expect it. It highlights our shared responsibility to protect and appreciate wildlife from all corners of our planet. Through this lens, we are reminded that even in bustling cities like Encinitas, moments of enchantment can be found if one keeps their eyes open to the wonders around them.
